Hello, dear colleagues! I am working in a small synagogue library of about 6,000 volumes. We are going to replace the ancient desktop computer I am currently using for reference and circulation. We have in mind a laptop for business applications - maybe a Dell - with Windows 7 Professional software. Definitely a PC, not a Mac. Has anyone done this recently? What would you recommend? For a Dell we choose the components so I'm interested in the appropriate specs. It doesn't have to be a Dell, though. I've only purchased computers for personal use so would benefit from your experience.
Also, are there programs you recommend that you find useful apart from the obvious ones like Microsoft Office? Thanks in advance for your guidance!
